A mechanical engineer from New Zealand hand-built 10 motorcycles in a garage using kitchen ovens for moulds. At Daytona, they humiliated the Ducati factory. He died of cancer in 1995, aged 45, months after his greatest victory. Only 10 Britten V1000s exist. Everyone is in a museum. . . . #OneLungRacing #BrittenV1000 #JohnBritten #Daytona #BattleOfTheTwins #NewZealandEngineering #HomemadeRacer #PrivateerRacing #VTwin #CarbonFibre #MotoHistory #Underdog #RacingLegend #ClassicRacing #BikeNerd #Motorcycle #Moto #TwoWheels #MotoLegend #EngineeringGenius #VsTheFacories #ClassicRacing
